So I was thinking of a campaign where we don't run heroes, we don't slay dragons or stop armies with a wave of our hand; what about the people in the background? The dirt farmer drafted to the war, the militia protecting the town from 3 goblins, the volunteers just trying to help get supplies down the trade route?
Roughly the game would be a 15 point buy, only NPC classes (excluding the Aristocrat and the Commoner), and very little starting gold. We would start somewhere around level 2-4, I'd rather not just do a level 1 meat grinder right away.
Feats would be gained at levels as normal, but would have to be earned in game, same with skill ranks. I.E you went to the forest after work every day for a few weeks working out how to cleave through stumps/sticks before you could do it every time without fail.
This game is less about the "Grand Adventure" and more about "How do these people even live?" It's not a dungeon crawl, or a rescue mission for a Princess, it's more of finding out the local farmer is out of seed and the only source is through the forest.
Any questions, or comments, or if it just doesn't sound interesting let me know.
I would play this. Probably either a human adept or warrior.
Although I think it's too early to call this, it doesn't seem to be an idea with much steam behind it. I'll wait it out a bit longer, maybe a quick bump will see some action?
I didn't see this the other day either: I'd be willing to give it a go, although I think it'll be a challenge to run
Wow, apparently the bump did itself justice. I'm going to go ahead and make this thread inactive tonight and repost this campaign with a more formal name, actual recruiting thread, and all necessary setting and character creation info. I promise to have it up by tomorrow.
(My apologies to you Adria seeing as you already posted it here!)
I hope to see you all there!

Please be sure to post a link to the new thread here so we don't miss it!
I promised a day, and here it is
I hope I didn't drag this interest check out too long and lose some of you in the process!
I'll keep this thread alive for a bit longer to make sure the word gets out, but now you have actual campaign information which is always nice.
